Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of fat cell differentiation; positive regulation of protein phosphorylation; and regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within brown fat cell differentiation. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in genitourinary system; jaw; and retina. Orthologous to human RARRES2 (retinoic acid receptor responder 2).
